Poetry as an interpretation of life.pptx

Poetry is not just a form of literature but a reflection of human experiences, emotions, and thoughts. It interprets life in a way that ordinary language often cannot. Through imagery, rhythm, and metaphor, poets give voice to feelings of love, joy, sorrow, struggle, and hope. Every poem becomes a mirror of society, culture, and individual perception, offering readers new insights into the meaning of existence. Poetry teaches us to look deeper into the ordinary, to find beauty in pain, and to express the unspoken truths of life. In this way, poetry is not only an art but also a profound interpretation of the human journey.
